But the Golden Dragon King didn't care; he was acting like a reckless youth now.
His only goal was to take back the dragon god core from Ah Yin and wash away his past humiliations.
At this moment, Tang Chen climbed up despite his injuries and looked around at the surrounding Allied Army soldiers.
He sighed, never imagining he would end up in such a pathetic state.
"Will you support me, Chi You, or that golden dragon?"
Tang Chen was powerless to fight any longer, so he thought to find some confidence from the Allied Army soldiers.
"..."
The crowd naturally cowered, not daring to speak out.
No matter who they chose, the result would likely be losing their lives.
But Tang Chen remained forceful; even though he was heavily wounded, a faint trace of Asura God Power still drifted around him.
"Speak! Who do you support?"
His roar attracted the attention of Zhu Zhuyun.
After all, with a conflict raging in the sky, ordinary people wouldn't care about what was happening on the ground.
"Tang Chen? I've heard rumors of you in the Star Luo Imperial Family. A legend from a hundred years ago, the absolute peak of the Spirit Master's world back then."
Zhu Zhuyun had a charming yet sinister expression, with a hint of an eerie smile.
Tang Chen didn't know her, but he found her words pleasant. He replied with an air of aloofness, "It's good that you know. So, you're here to help this Asura God? I believe you should have that realization; staying with someone like Chu Feng will only hinder your future."
"But you've already failed. Why do you still maintain such an arrogant attitude?"
Zhu Zhuyun's emotions rose as she spoke, and she drew closer to Tang Chen.
Tang Chen became alert and shouted angrily, "Hmph, that's because I didn't use my full power. Besides, what right does a mere mortal like you have to judge me..."
Just as he spoke stubbornly, Zhu Zhuyun snatched a halberd from a nearby soldier and thrust it into Tang Chen's chest before he could react.
Tang Chen's legs immediately began to tremble as he collapsed, blood spurting from his chest.
He never expected his end to be so pathetic, dying at the hands of a woman he didn't even know.
Furthermore, since these Allied forces were so-called demonic soldiers, the halberd was naturally imbued with a great deal of foul energy, which sucked away all of Tang Chen's Asura God Power.
Tang Chen was incredibly frustrated: "Impossible, I cannot die here."
Then Zhu Zhuyun pulled the halberd out very quickly, causing a spray of blood to splatter everywhere.
Tang Chen was dead, thoroughly dead.
The Allied soldiers began looking at each other, then retreated some distance away.
They never intended to protect Tang Chen anyway; it was fated from the moment they refused to answer his question.
With their so-called commander Tang Chen dead, the Allied forces turned their sights on the Golden Dragon King.
It seemed these soldiers' purpose in Slaughter City was to find ruthless powerhouses to serve, though only nominally.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuyun looked toward the sky.
The Golden Dragon King was letting out a thunderous roar, and some kind of power was gathering in his mouth, resembling a bright little sun.
"Hehe, now that Tang Chen is dead, I have the chance to condense the biyuan pill. He really did me a huge favor."
As the Golden Dragon King spoke, he shook his body to steady his aura. He held his hand to his chin, and the little sun spat out, landing in his palm with a clatter. After the golden light slowly faded, its true form was revealed.
It was a green pill that looked like glass. Judging by its appearance, it was likely at the Golden Core level—an Immortal Herb grade pill that couldn't be evaluated by age.
As Chu Feng watched, information flashed through his mind, and he quickly discovered what this biyuan pill was.
"The providence of Slaughter City is extremely evil. With Tang Chen's foundation, he occupied at least half of it. If he didn't die, you wouldn't be able to seize his providence, and thus couldn't refine this biyuan pill."
As Chu Feng spoke calmly, the Golden Dragon King immediately sneered, "You're right. This pill absorbed the essence, energy, and spirit of everyone here whose mortal bodies underwent Marrow Cleansing. It was only missing a bit of providence. Thank you for helping me kill him."
"What? Aren't you all working for the Imperial Family? Why are you attacking each other?"
Ah Yin might not have understood; she simply thought the Golden Dragon King, Tang Chen, and the Allied Army were on the same side.
The Golden Dragon King mocked, "The Allied Army just wanted to snatch a portion of the providence here. Unfortunately, they convinced Tang Chen, but not me. I am the supreme Dragon God Source; why would I associate with weak humans?"
"But didn't you also need to use our hands to get rid of Tang Chen?"
Zhu Zhuqing noticed a blind spot in the situation.
The Golden Dragon King's face turned red with anger; it seemed she had touched a sore spot.
"You are too naive. Slaughter City is far more complex than you imagine."
The Golden Dragon King tried to find an excuse, but then he suddenly turned his head. "Wait, why am I telling you this? Give me back my dragon god core!"
He finally remembered what he was fighting for, and so he charged toward Ah Yin to kill her.
His speed was very fast, and he didn't forget to boast: "With this biyuan pill, I possess power equivalent to a Golden Immortal. Your previous Daoist techniques and powers won't be able to trap me."
Ah Yin immediately raised a shield and activated the divine force of order within her, hoping to use her book of order to judge the Golden Dragon King.
Unfortunately, it was completely ineffective, forcing Zhu Zhuqing to come to her aid. After all, Zhu Zhuqing's Power of Night could briefly suppress the dragon's divine force.
But that was far from enough. Chu Feng said, "That biyuan pill is usually used by Golden Immortal experts for bone forging and body tempering, and it's typically refined from Immortal Herbs and spiritual plants. However, his method of using human essence is an evil path. Although the effect is greatly enhanced, the demonic nature is also excessively heavy."
"Then what should we do?" Zhu Zhuqing asked anxiously.
"Naturally, you will be killed by me, and I will devour your providence."
The Golden Dragon King's killing intent was heavy as he quickly unleashed a powerful ultimate move, the Golden Dragon Shadow Kill.
Afterimages of the golden dragon swept through the wind; even the night could no longer resist, forcing Ah Yin and Zhu Zhuqing to dodge.
But Chu Feng stepped directly to the front and said calmly, "Don't panic."
Then he grabbed a wisp of green mist in the air and crushed it ruthlessly; that was Tang Chen's soul.
Chu Feng had chosen to stand by during the battle with the Golden Dragon King just for this moment; he would not give Tang Chen any chance of resurrection.
After thoroughly dealing with Tang Chen, Chu Feng finally prepared to focus on the Golden Dragon King.
[Congratulations to the Host for completing the A-rank mission.]
[Reward: Formation - Heaven and Earth Three Talents immortal slaying array.]
[Reward: Immortal Source Restriction, capable of crushing any Douluo Continent original skill Domain.]
Chu Feng smiled. The reward was timely, but even without it, his plan was to use the immortal slaying sword.
Because when he had the immortal slaying sword before, he had just attained godhood and hadn't used the strongest killing array where all four swords moved together.
And now that the system had upgraded the killing array for him, wasn't it the perfect time to go with the flow?
